CZ Shadow 2 Orange Project
« on: February 26, 2023, 04:18:40 PM »
It was a trip!  After shooting a TS2 Race Green I purchased a Shadow 2 Orange (S2O).  Great platform, great shooter but…


Stock CZ Shadow 2 Orange
 
After shooting the Shadow 2 Orange I sent it off to Wicked Arms for a little work.. I added milling for a Trijicon Red Dot and the Wicked Arms Banshee Cut to the slide and Cerakote Black Graphit refinishing of the slide.


S2O Slide being milled.


S2O after milling with stock grips.

After receiving the S2O back from Wicked Arms I opted to remove the blade from the front sight.  (I should have thought of this including this while at Wicked Arms!). I left the blade base polished although I may blacken it in the future… TBD.


Front Sight Blade removed.

To complete the build I added 4 round Taren Tactical Magazine extensions and LOK Grips to tone down the “Orange” while maintaining the gun’s heritage.


Finished Project.

Wicked Arms did their usual outstanding job of milling and refinishing the slide, Thank You John for another outstanding shooter!  Now looking for a TS2 Orange…

After refinishing the slide, how is the color match to the frame?

I'm not a huge S2 fan but dang that one is nice. I love threads like this that post the stock and as you go rebuild options with good pics. Little bit at a time.

The Black Graphite is an excellent match with the existing finish on the frame.
